Behind the song: ''Unchained Melody'' by The Righteous Brothers

7/16/2021

 
Picture


​''When we were producing "Unchained Melody", Bobby came in and put his voice on. He sang it twice, and he left. He came back into the studio and said, "Bill, I just want to try one thing''. He went in and he did that real high note in "Unchained," you know "I neeeeed," that real high part in "Unchained Melody," which isn't how the song was written. I think it's a big part of that song.'' - Bill Medley






''After the song went into Ghost, it started to get so much airplay because of the movie, we went back in and rerecorded it, because the record label said they weren't going to release it. I knew that it would be a hit again. When it came out in that movie, that song became a monster. I mean, a monster. I didn't see that coming, that's for sure.'' - Bill Medley

Does anybody remember the previous recording of this tune by the great Al Hibbler in the 50's ? Better still....does anyone know why it's called "Unchained Melody" ? Check out a movie called "Unchained " which was kind of a bomb.

My all time favorite. Having grown up in the ‘50s/‘60s, I believe I know good music when I hear it. This song brings tears to my eyes and gives me goosebumps every time I hear it. Bobby Hatfield had a phenomenal voice and would have been standout singer on his own.
